Dave Thomas: First, let's begin with a brief audio description of the Wendy's logo. The Wendy's logo consists of a smiling little girl, with flowing red hair, depicted in a bright cartoon style. She is wearing a blue and white striped dress, adorned with ruffles, and holds a bun on which the word "Wendy's" is written in bold, white letters against a red rectangular background. The color scheme predominantly features vibrant shades of red, blue, and white, giving the logo a friendly and inviting feel.

Dave Thomas: Now, let's dig into the history of the Wendy's logo. The logo has undergone several transformations since its creation in 1969. The original logo featured a more realistic depiction of Wendy, the daughter of the restaurant's founder, Dave Thomas. She was shown with a ponytail, wearing a similar blue and white striped dress and a matching bow. Over the years, the logo evolved to become more stylized and simplified, leading to the current version we see today.
